ya well the revolution has a lot more oging for it then the gamecube. Your right gamecube sucked. But the revolution is gonna have that downloadable content<<<<<o ya how are they gonna have that downloadable content without sometype of memory>>>>>>> also they got backwards compatible and there gonna have a cheapprice. ANd i think its most likly gonna have atleast xbox360 graphics.<<<<<

so the revolution is kinda looking interesting but so far my favorite console is close between 360 and ps3. THey both look very promising.

i dont mind that Nintendo won't support HDTV becuase i havent got a HDTV and i doubt i'll get one anytime soon, but i dont think that is the most important issue for a games console i think it should depend more on the quality of the games that are available

also the problem with trying to have hd support is that nintendo would have to make seperate systems for each type i think and if it did come out with hd what would happen for those who do not have hdtv hmmm

btw i want a hdtv

Our family has 2 HDTVs in the house, but we don't use gaming consoles on them.

I have a television in my room, and it is definitely not HDTV, but I really don't mind. I'm in the party of "mind over matter". Graphics don't win me over when it comes to games.



Although it doesn't hurt.

For now, HD is probably not a huge issue, though later on closer to the end of the console's life, the Wii will probably age much faster than either the PS3 or Xbox 360. Nintendo is not going all out in terms of processing power and graphics anyway; their focus seems to be on innovation in other areas.

Considering that the Wii is using hardware not too different to the Gamecube, I doubt that having HD or not will make a big difference. To me, anyway, I'd much rather have a cheaper system/games

The major thing with HD is that, HD doesnt work, unless you have an HD-TV to view it on. Many people complained about this with the release of the 360 along with Kong. It looked beautiful when you played the demo at bestbuy or where ever, but when you brought it home to your standard analog tv, it looked worse... and for a few it looked like crap.

Personaly, I see "HD Ready" as just another way to milk a few extra dollars of the consumer, so who ever is developing this, can make more money. While I'm up for people making money, I'm agaisnt people not getting all of the information when they need it, than feel like they have been screwed over, and proceed to refuse to use any more products made by this company.

I see it as the same with Blue-Ray. How do we know within the first 16 months, this is going to take off big time? Now we have to wait for computer companies to jack up prices on their computers, so we can get the nice like Blue-Ray burner, that burns a hole through the disc. You pay to repair, and you pay for the feature. Its as many say, your paying for the name, not for the performance. In a few years when stuff has been out for a while, i will check it out. For now, i have to say no.

Now that the future hard drives for laptops are going to be based on flash memory, I was wondering if maybe in the console after nintendo wii, nintendo is going to head back to memory based games instead of the freaking crappy optical cds.

I think it would be a lot better, because I remember how crappy all the consoles that used optical cds were compared to cartridges. The waiting time is not as bad as it was on the first playstation now, but its still annoying. It would be great if nintendo went back to cartridges with the new flash memory technologies.

nintendo have failed in this point, but still have time to correct this
